A cross between installation and performance, Cooking The World is a project set up and performed by the Indian artist and cook Subodh Gupta. The work is a restaurant built from various utensils belonging to the culinary dimension – pots, pans, plates, buckets and so on – and specifically of the Indian culinary; Gupta's goal is to document the economic transformation of his country and at the same time the immutability of its most daily and intimate culture, demonstrating how culinary life has seen its tools evolve without forgetting traditional recipes. Every day the actor himself cooks his guests typical dishes of Indian culture, conversing with them and illustrating the most characteristic aspects of his own culture.
